Seasonal treasure: Tomatoes create magic on a plate

In Chinese cuisine, tomatoes are frequently used as a garnish, adding a refreshing sour-sweet flavor to meaty dishes, such as braised beef brisket with tomatoes or prawns with tomato sauce. One of the most traditional Chinese examples of home-style cooking, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, reflects how much Chinese people enjoy this juicy, savory fruit.

However, fresh tomatoes are only around for a fleeting couple of months. Go to a local farmer's market or buy some newly-picked ones from the organic shelf. Remember, you can only make a tasty dish out of quality ingredients.
